I would probably say worse,

@nishav

The German scramble would force a naval battle preventing UK from ignoring the Subs, so yes, they would participate.

Edit
or they could submerge if no UK DDs but that wouldn’t make sense to scramble then :)

I guess if you wanted to block a bombard it might

@barnee said in USA Controls Korea with a Soviet Infantry Present and Russia Not at War with JPN:

heh heh I only checked the Pacific rules :)

You were not wrong to check the Pacific rulebook, there it is on pages 14 and 36.

@SuperbattleshipYamato

I think that’d be a really good idea because urals factories were genuinely a big contender to the war. Would people ever play with it though is the question?

@Krieghund Thanks!

@Cornwallis

I agree with the main points you made in the Pacific.

Thank you! That makes sense. That’ll make a mess for uk to deal with lol.

@Graunie:

The USS Lexington took two torpedo hits and 3 bombs during the Battle of the Coral Sea and continued flight operations until the battle was over.  Some explosions later sunk it, but that’s pretty impressive.  That was before they started putting torpedo hulls on the carriers.

The USS Yorktown dodged 8 torpedos in that battle.  Got all busted up with bombs and scrambled back for the defense of Midway after a few days worth of repairs.

If they were so easy to kill why didn’t they just kill them before they did so much damage to the Japanese fleet?  When the reality is every ship and plane is pretty much focused on taking out said carriers.

They are two hit pieces for sure.

Amen.

I also like Gargantua’s idea of having both carrier types available to purchase.  You could consider one an escourt carrier and the other the main battle carrier.  I am guessing Imperious Leader can tell us what their abreviations should be (CV, CVE, ABCD, etc.).
